About this map

The Vernon Fork Muscatatuck River and its numerous tributaries, including Finch Branch and Leatherwood Creek, define the landscape of this area of Indiana. Several small settlements, including Zenas, Nebraska, Jackson, and Holton, are interconnected by a network of county roads. Genealogists will find this sheet particularly valuable for the documentation of multiple local burying grounds such as Old Zenas Cemetery, Otter Creek Cemetery, Saint Bridget Cemetery, and Little Arlington Cemetery.

The presence of infrastructure like the Leatherwood Lake Dam and Old Timber Lake Dam indicates a managed water system that shapes the rural environment. The terrain is marked by distinct features like Pleasant Run and the winding course of Otter Creek, which flows across the central portion of the quadrangle before meeting the Little Otter Creek. This survey captures the rural character of the region as it appeared in the early 21st century.
